GIST: Popular Artiste D'Banj Dumps Glo for rival MTN

Talented Nigerian musician and GLO ambassador, Dapo Oyebanjo popularly known as Dbanj, has allegedly  to sealed a new deal with MTN.

”D’banj has indeed parted ways with GLO and signed a new deal with rival, MTN.

We also know that Dbanj and MTN are partnering with BOI (Bank Of Industry) to pioneer a new service called ‘The Cream Platform’.

A rep from D’banj’s company, DKM tells us that, ‘It’s more of a partnership between MTN and DKM to launch a platform of visible hope for the creative industry where creative content will be found, housed, financed, nurtured, published, marketed, distributed and sold with track-able monitoring by content owners without leaving their comfort zones. With the support of the Bank of industry who is providing funding for DKM, this initiative and the launching of a new publishing company’ ”.

This will be the 2nd time Dbanj will fail to renew a deal with Globacom.

D’banj and Globacom fell out in 2010 when the pop singer reportedly entered the company’s bad books and all efforts at reconciliation failed. Despite multiple interventions, the telco refused to extend his N70M two-year contract, settling instead for pop Twins Psquare for a four year deal worth over N240m.

Whatever the case is, it certainly means more money dropping into Dbanj’s bank account.
